Mailing Labels

Is it possible to do mailing labels through Reporting Services. I can't
figure out a way to display three columns of information per page'?
anybody have any examples?I set up a report to print Avery 5162 labels yesterday. I had to play with
the margins, font size, textbox positioning, and textbox spacing to get the
data to fit on the labels correctly. After adding a blank report and creating
a dataset here are the steps I took to create the report.
Hope it helps. 1) Change Report Properties Margins to: 0.125in, 0.125in,
0.825in, 0in (Your's will probably be different.)
2) Change Body Layout Properties: Columns=2, ColumnSpacing=0.25in, Size=4in,
1.375in(the label size)
3) Add a List object: Location=0in, 0in, Size=4in, 1.375in(the label size)
4) Add a Rectangle object: Location=0in, 0in, Size=4in, 1.375in(the label
size)
5) Add and arrange data fields When you first view the report on the Preview
tab it will only show one column. You'll need to switch to Print Preview to
see the two column report.|||Thanks.. .I actually already did practically the same thing.... take care...
